Ponting is one of the greats of the modern era. Some experts put him alongside Lara and Tendulkar in the great batsmen's list, which speaks volumes about his ability as a batsman. Having said that, his ability to play quality spin bowling was always questioned and his record against India also supports his doubters' hypothesis.

He played 14 Test matches in India and scored 662 runs at a disappointing average of 26.48 with only 1 hundred. His overall record against India looks impressive though, due to his exploits in Australia. He scored 2555 runs from 29 Test matches he played against India at an average of 54.36 with 8 centuries.
